After another disaster ride on Greenwich Meanclimb, I need to do a DIY Sunday to get my September RRTY done, got a bike fit booked on Saturday so good opportunity to test out my new position too.
My mate came over from Sweden to ride GMC, and lost his wheel on some mud after about 25k and crashed my Colnago (argh) that he was riding. Felt really bad for him as he had been looking forward to the ride, we carried on to the first control, but he was pretty banged up and riding a bike at least two sizes too small, we packed at about 80k as realistically he wasn't going to be able to get round in the state he was in with bad knee pain too, thanks to everyone who stopped, and also who checked he was alright at the first control!
We went home, and cracked on the beer instead. In a pub later that afternoon someone tried to give him first aid on his knee which was quite amusing, but gives you an idea of how it looked!
